 SMART support is: Ambiguous - ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE words 85-87 don't
 show if SMART is enabled. A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting.
 To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.

 Using both -F samsung and -F samsung2 yields the same complaints from
 smartctl. I was unsure how I should use the -T option so I did not
 experiment.

 I've contacted you, now what? :)

Erik,

Thanks for the explaination -- I hadn't realized that Perc3/Di == aacraid.
I'll send a note to the aacraid maintainers.

Cheers,

Re: Warnings when querying my Samsung harddrive.

Hi Geoff,

Your drive may not support SMART.  Try adding -T permissive and enabling
SMART:

smartctl -T permissive -s on

Re: Problems with Samsung disk

Greg,

Please run a self-test (-t short) and let it complete.  Then please try:

  smartctl -v 9,halfminutes -F samsung /dev/hda
and
  smartctl -v 9,halfminutes -F samsung2 /dev/hda
and
  smartctl -v 9,halfminutes /dev/hda

Does one of the three outputs look sensible?

Bruce

SMART Prefailure, Seek_Error_Rate changed, SC:08

On 1/26/2004 I recieved an e-mail from smartmontools containing:

Jan 26 21:52:48 smartd[364]: Device: /dev/hda, SMART Prefailure 
Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 100 to 85
Jan 26 21:52:48 smartd[364]: Device: /dev/hda, ATA error count increased 
from 0 to 1

It appears that the disk has a few (SC:08) bad sectors. Is this correct, 
or a sign that the drive is nearing failure? This is the first such 
(critical) error I've recieved from smartmontools since I began using it.

After running a 'smartctl -t long /dev/hda' per the FAQ, here's the 
output from 'smartctl -l selftest /dev/hda'.

Your thoughts on this disks' status or suggested actions are appreciated.

Please send -a output when the self-test has completed.

This is a sign of trouble.  There is a sector on the disk that can't be
read.  The self-test may identify it, or may 'help it' to be read and  get
it reallocated.

Re: SMART Prefailure, Seek_Error_Rate changed, SC:08

So...

About 160 hours ago your disk failed to read one sector of the disk. The
recent self-test seems to indicate that the disk has been successful in
reading the entire disk surface, but I'm not sure that I trust this.  I'd
keep an eye on the disk, and if at some point in the future it fails
(again) to read a sector, you'll notice another entry in the disk error
log and the pending sector count go up by one again.  If this happens, get
the Quantum/Maxtor SMART disk utility, and run it.  It may be able to
force reallocation of the bad sector.

Cheers,
	Bruce

RE: 3ware card SMART monitoring

Dear Bruce,

I made the same try with my disk monitoring script using the 3ware Driver version: 1.02.00.037, which I
think is the latest version.

The results are still the same, meaning if I query a certain device (/dev/sd*) I get the response of all the
disks that are attached in the controller and not those related with the device.

The smartctl version that I'm using is the 5.26 and my OS is Gnu_Linux Red Hat 7.3.

I attach to this 3 files that can help debugg : the 3ware controller configuration
(3ware_controller_cofiguration.txt), the output of the script without -q sile
(smartctl_output_no_silent_option.txt), and the results I get out of my disk monitoring script (output_disk_monitoring_script.txt).

Case you need any other information,please contact me and I will rapidily try to provide the information lacking.

Thank you
Hugo  Caçote

Could you please send the output with the -q silent removed?  This will make it clearer what is going on.

RE: 3ware card SMART monitoring + direct question


Hi Bruce,

I think my last e-mail can be translated to the following direct
question:

Can smart tools be used to do disk/device(/dev/sda, /dev/sdb..... )
mapping ?? 

This would solve the problem of seeing all the disks in the controler
when querying 
one device, or I must do this mapping via 3ware controller command
line??

Thank you again,
Hugo Cacote
